Most people don't need sustained energy over a day. For knowledge work at least, the vast majority of work occurs in very specific spurts. So it's more than fine to borrow energy from your future self to get that burst right now w

How can we know for sure that this is the actual initial prompt/instruction? Have engineers who have worked on these systems confirmed that this was the case?

I believe the author could achieve the same result by working out of one of Meta's office. Plenty of coworkers around to mimic the effect of screen watching.

As an example: grammarly is a company that makes money off getting users to "correct use of language". They make millions per year and this is just one use case of ChatGPT. Other use cases: copilot , AI personal assistant/sc

Incredibly short sighted perspective. Chatgpt-backed tools will become the norm in the same way that every knowledge worker uses Google on a daily basis today. Note that I did not say that people will use it to replace search - search is bu

No. This is a paradigm changing technology - the kind that happens once every 10 years or so. ChatGPT is going to change the entire landscape of knowledge work over the next few years and I'd rather be up to date with the advances even

If you gave someone with no programming experience access to a search engine during the interview, they would likely be able to find the appropriate LC problem to copy/paste the solution. If the interview were slightly modified so that

For ML tutorials, I feel like I do see quite a lot of tutorials in pure numpy. A fun thing I've been doing with ChatGPT is to ask it to show me some starter code for some topic. Usually it shows me some code that imports sklearn and th

It's interesting that so many of these tricks are specifically for testing invariance properties. I wonder if it's because those sort of questions pop up a lot, or maybe those are the type of problems that TT enjoys, or that those

Confidence usually comes from something. Sometimes it is innate. For those less lucky, it generally comes from preparation and just as important, the belief in the work you put in to be ready for w/e talk you're giving.

That's a fair point but from the top 10 law schools POV, they have no incentive to care about this. On the flip side, this is the sort of self-reinforcing feedback loop that allows top ranked schools to collect the best talent (or at l

I think instead of overall rankings, it would be more informative for law schools to have rankings for the specific things people actually care about. So things like: prospects for getting a Big Law job, getting a federal law clerkship, doi
